Now this is a link, the great missing, definitive link in the recent circumcision thread. I read a few paragraphs and felt suddenly more knowledgeable. I have no Greek and, for a moment there, I admit I thought is was an elaborate joke. Thanks, plexi!

Well, I guess that's the long and short of it. In the glan design of things I guess that previous thread was only the tip of the vas possibilities. Waddaya say we give that old post the shaft and make this new one the thrust of a more mature conversation?

Honestly though. An excellent, erudite post plexi.

I foresee a new era in porn titling when these terms become commonplace. Long Lines at the Posthe Office,
Afroposthion ....

...during the Roman era, where circumcision was a capital crime that was associated with the rejection of Greek or Roman civilization...

Man, it's a good thing we don't follow Roman law, or we'd have to put most of the U.S. population to death!

Funnily enough, I saw an ad in the Voice for this peculiar operation today. Blech!

A moment of perfect symmetry. Suitable for framing.

"Prepuce" and "decorously draping" do not belong in the same sentence. I have never in my life met a prepuce, which decorously drapes itself across his right foot.
